Public license information

KIRT was a radio station at 1580 AM in Mission, Texas. It was owned by Bravo Broadcasting Company and carried a Spanish Christian talk format known as La Radical. Its license was revoked on November 21, 2023, for failure to pay regulatory fees. [2]

History

KIRT received its license in 1957 and by 1958 was broadcasting entirely in Spanish. [3] Its initial owners, Robert F. Pool Sr. and Jr., sold the station to KIRT, Inc. in 1958; in 1970, KIRT was sold to Rio Broadcasting Company.

In 2001, Bravo Broadcasting Company was transferred from Edward L. Gómez to Iglesia del Pueblo.

On November 21, 2023, the Federal Communications Commission revoked KIRT's license for failure to pay delinquent regulatory fees. This came after a required response from the station did not occur. The total amount of money owed was $36,165.23 plus interest. [4]
